Each night we plug in the stars Right at the moment it gets dark All interference fades away We calm down when they light up Any amazement it creates Is the cherry on the cake We have lost the skill to wait It's strange to watch patience slowly die out Now you're slowly growing tired Of every question, every "why" Don't be bothered to reply A sigh says more than what you're saying out loud We shout when we don't care to carry on We talk when we agree to get along We whisper when we're going strong And silence is our bond It feels like teasing love when we are quiet It leaves a lot to say and that's alright Impossible to sing along With the silent song
